1IN6: At least 1 in 6 men have been sexually abused or assaulted — If you’re a man who has experienced sexual abuse or assault, you’re not alone. We’re here to support you in your path to a happier, healthier future

The social stigma and silence around male sexual abuse and assault results in a lack of awareness and understanding about the effects of these experiences, and what men need to move forward.

Many things qual­i­fy as “unwant­ed sex­u­al expe­ri­ences,” even if at first a boy or man was grate­ful for the atten­tion. It could include an expe­ri­ence that a man may not be ready to label as “sex­u­al abuse” or “sex­u­al assault,” or even under­stand how it might have been.

Heal­ing can begin when a man rec­og­nizes the pos­si­ble con­nec­tion between those expe­ri­ences and com­mon con­se­quences – con­se­quences that can include rocky rela­tion­ships, lost jobs, self-destruc­tive behav­iors, depres­sion, and even violence.

What­ev­er the expe­ri­ence, what­ev­er the con­se­quence, we can help sort through the con­fu­sion – safe­ly and anonymously.
